Integrating the Archetypes of Mercury, Sagittarius and Capricorn
Today’s retrograding Mercury in Capricorn and a New Moon in Sagittarius is a rare category of new beginnings. Their occurrence during Hanukah and their proximity to Winter Solstice, Christmas and Kwanzaa bring numerous opportunities for insights into your paradigms, your processes, and where you are with them. And, most importantly, what is now possible.
Endings, Beginnings, and Opportunities for the Change You Seek
Welcome to the Scorpio New Moon. This one is a particularly powerful one, for several reasons. There is an extraordinary amount of richness and grace available, right now. It's important to hone your skills at recognizing it. It is equally important to open your heart and your mind, your psyche and your soul, and give yourself permission to receive it. So, let's take a minute and parse it out.
A Big Big Day
This time, there is so much going on, and so much more coming down the pike, I absolutely have to do things a bit differently. For reasons I cannot seem to explain – other than just straight up intuition – this one has a different format. It’s just not an option, it’s a compulsion.
This time, there is so much going on, and so much coming down the pike, I’m going to give a lot of raw data and let you work with it to your best advantage. If you get stuck, call me. First, let’s start with the actual astrological math of it: how you do it, why you do it, and when it is best to do it.
Your Healing Process and Integrating the Gemini Archetypes
Saturday’s retrograding Saturn and a New Moon in Gemini – and their proximity to today’s Summer Solstice - bring numerous insights into your paradigms and processes, and where you are with them. One of the reasons astrology is so interesting for me, is that it can be so helpful in assisting clients with their manifestation process, and with the healing that often is such a key piece of manifestation. The astrological transits, signs and planets show us where to go, when, how, and what to do when the road gets rocky, or the waves get choppy.
Welcome to the Taurus new moon—and, thanks to our polycrisis, a brave new world that is evolving at a predictably unpredictable rate. Of course, all new moons represent opportunities for fresh starts and new beginnings, the key is knowing which opportunities to take. And making peace with them. Sometimes you have more options and opportunities than others; usually you have more than you realize. Let’s take a look at what yesterday's particularly relational, and values-driven New Moon has to offer. This New Moon does not offer you a lot of options, but the ones that exist are truly clear, extremely focused and – if you rise to them – will be very rewarding. As spring wanes and summer waxes, the possibilities, and opportunities to start over, to begin again are practically limitless in some extremely specific areas.
About every 2 ½ years, we have a moment like this – where there are 2 new moons in either 1 zodiac sign or 1 28-day period. Now is one of those times, so stop moving and look up. I know, Aries rules rapid, direct, and decisive forward motion, and slowing down right now can be difficult must less stopping. But stop moving - just for a moment. Be present for this. There are few things it would behoove you to sort through. Especially because this one is happening at 29 degrees. Known as the anarectic degree, it is the most powerful degree of each sign because it is the last degree of each sign. So, off we go!
All new moons are powerful. But there are ways in which the Aries new moon is the most powerful one of the astrological year. Of course, part of it has to do with domain of the sign itself, and the characteristics of its gender, element, and modality. As a male sign that rules the divine male archetype, as well as the archetype of the warrior, there is extraordinary strength and courage to be found here. Use it. As it is the first of three fire signs, it is an intense force to be reckoned with: agile and adept, driven to move freely. Be that. As a cardinal sign, it is assertive and initiating, pioneering and resourceful. Own that. But part of it has to do with Aries place in the wheel of the sky: it is the first sign of the zodiac. When you have the transit of new beginnings in the sign of new beginnings, well, there is just exponentially more power. Trust that.
